I have many .png files in my project. I want to find all the .png files.
It seems that Find in Files works with some suffixes, but can't find with others like .png.
As you can see, there are some .png files in my project, and it can't find them.
Why does it happen? What am I doing wrong?

I'm currently trying to compile a large project, which has a lot of folders with a lot of subdirs and subfiles.
These files all need to be in the right folder with the right name.
In the main folder where also the .py file is, are 2 folders with all the files.
The problem is:
I need to add all these in the .exe file. These are Like 170MB, So adding them all per hand is not an option.
It is also important that everything is in one .exe file. Does anyone know how to do this?
Follows this page https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/2016.1/find-and-replace-in-path.html?origin=old_help#mask , it should be able to exclude many files using "!" symbol in front of the regular pattern like: *.java, when doing text search inside IntelliJ projects.
On my project, when I fired Ctrl + Shift + F to do text search for string xyz. There's over 100+ results return in both *.ftl and *.java files. I tried to reduce the results on only ftl files by changing the "File mask(s)"-Option to "!*.java" . But it did not work! The result list is empty!
Googling on the excluding file pattern results in creating custom file filters for each particular search, which I don't want to maintain!
Do I miss something here or IntelliJ is just bad on this function (I'm using IntelliJ 15)? With Eclipse, the "File mask" was amazing!
You have to use
!*.java instead of !.java
As for IDEA 2019.1 Ultimate, it works for me(exclude with !*.yml or anything else).
If it does not in yours, as you only as .ftl file to exclude, why not add mask as *.java?
PS: what does not work is exclude some path, like "all files under out/ folder". With !out/* or anything ales it does not work.
Forget about File Mask and use Scope:
In Scope the options are unlimited where you can select folder include/exclude files or folders.
Excluding file paths in the Find in Path dialogue was not added until IntelliJ 2016.1 per this IntelliJ forum response.
I would like to exclude specific folders from my file search, ie.
However, I am not sure how to do this...any suggestions?
When I do a Find in Path (Ctrl+Shift+F), I often get results under "Usages in Generated Code" in R.java files. When I'm searching my code, I want to do just that: search my code. Not files generated by my code.
Is it possible to get the find dialog to not show any R.java files in the results? The only results I want are those under "Found Occurrences"
Thank you!
Android Studio (like its progenitor IntelliJ) allows you to define a custom scope to help you exclude intermediates files when searching.
Here are the steps I use to set this up:
Bring up Find in Path dialog (Ctrl+Shift+F on my machine).
In the Scope area, select the Custom radio button. Then tap the "..." button on the right side of the dropdown. This brings up the Scopes dialog.
Click the "+" button on the left side of the Scopes dialog, which will bring up the Add New Scope dialog. Name it "ExcludeIntermediates".
In the Pattern field, paste in the following pattern and click OK:
!file:*intermediates*/&&!file:*generated*/
This pattern excludes R.java files and other intermediates such as layout files in exploded-aar and AndroidManifest.xml copies in filtered_manifests folders.
This pattern excludes R.java files and other intermediates such as layout files in exploded-aar and AndroidManifest.xml copies in filtered_manifests folders.
ignores R.java files
ignores all *.java files generated by Android Annotations (i.e. *_.java files)
includes strings.xml, dimens.xml, styles.xml, attrs.xml, colors.xml files
includes all xml files in layout/* path

To search multiple modules but ignore R.java, you could use the following mask IF you don't have any other single character file names in your project:
☑ File mask(s): ??*.*
i.e. Limit results to filenames with at least 2 characters + any extension.
If you're using Android Studio, a simple way of achieving this is to set the Scope to be Directory (rather than Whole Project) and set this directory to be your src folder - since R.java appears under build/generated it won't appear in results there.
I use "custom scopes" in Android Studio to ignore R.java files. Others had described how to create/save a "shared custom scope" which can later be uploaded to a git repository. I'm just gonna share my custom scope string which:
ignores R.java files
ignores all *.java files generated by Android Annotations (i.e. *_.java files)
includes strings.xml, dimens.xml, styles.xml, attrs.xml, colors.xml files
includes all xml files in layout/* path
file:*java&&!file:R.java&&!file:*_.java||file:*strings.xml||file:*dimes.xml||file:*styles.xml||file:*attrs.xml||file:*colors.xml||file:*layout/*xml&&!file:*build/*xml
You could just avoid all the generated files from your project, as Mike Evans suggest in this tweet
You just need add a scope excluding the pattern mentioned:
I want to include a library - I've downloaded it and found exactly four files inside:
.h
.lib
.dll
.def
I've put the header file inside of my project. That's the only thing I did - and the visual throws an error that it cannot open the .lib file.
So I immediately wanted to beg for help on stackoverflow, but I've decided to do a little research first. I've found out that the .dll file should be placed inside of the windows/SYSWOW64 location (for my 64-bit windows 7), I placed it there but VS still displays the same error.
How should I deal with that? Did I missed some step during the "installation"? If so, which ones?
You have to specify the path to the library (*.lib) in your project settings.
(You can put it also into your directory with sources)
The presence of DLL file during build is not required.
